Chapter 25 |
| 1 | And the LORD
spake unto Moses, saying, |
|
2 | Speak unto the children of Israel, that
they bring me an offering: of every man that giveth it willingly with his heart
ye shall take my offering. |
|
3 | And this is the offering which ye shall
take of them; gold, and silver, and brass, |
|
4 | And blue, and purple, and
scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' hair, |
|
5 | And rams' skins dyed red,
and badgers' skins, and shittim wood, |
| 6 | Oil for the light, spices for
anointing oil, and for sweet incense, |
| 7 | Onyx stones, and stones to be
set in the ephod, and in the breastplate. |
|
8 | And let them make me a
sanctuary; that I may dwell among them. |
|
9 | According to all that I show
thee, after the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all the
instruments thereof, even so shall ye make it. |
| 10 | And they
shall make an ark of shittim wood: two cubits and a half shall be the length
thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the
height thereof. |
|
11 | And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, within
and without shalt thou overlay it, and shalt make upon it a crown of gold round
about. |
| 12
| And thou shalt cast four rings of gold for it, and put
them in the four corners thereof; and two rings shall be in the one side of it,
and two rings in the other side of it. |
| 13 | And thou shalt make staves of
shittim wood, and overlay them with gold. |
|
14 | And thou shalt put the
staves into the rings by the sides of the ark, that the ark may be borne with
them. |
| 15 |
The staves shall be in the rings of the ark: they shall not be
taken from it. |
|
16 | And thou shalt put into the ark the testimony which
I shall give thee. |
| 17 | And thou shalt make a mercy seat of pure
gold: two cubits and a half shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half
the breadth thereof. |
| 18 | And thou shalt make two cherubim of gold, of
beaten work shalt thou make them, in the two ends of the mercy seat. |
| 19 |
And make one cherub on the one end, and the other cherub on the other end: even
of the mercy seat shall ye make the cherubim on the two ends thereof.
|
| 20 | And the cherubim shall stretch forth their wings on high, covering the
mercy seat with their wings, and their faces shall look one to another; toward
the mercy seat shall the faces of the cherubim be. |
| 21 | And thou
shalt put the mercy seat above upon the ark; and in the ark thou shalt put the
testimony that I shall give thee. |
| 22 | And there I will meet with
thee, and I will commune with thee from above the mercy seat, from between the
two cherubim which are upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I
will give thee in commandment unto the children of Israel. |
| 23 | Thou
shalt also make a table of shittim wood: two cubits shall be the length
thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height
thereof. |
| 24
| And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, and make
thereto a crown of gold round about. |
| 25 | And thou shalt make unto it a
border of an hand breadth round about, and thou shalt make a golden crown to
the border thereof round about. |
| 26 | And thou shalt make for it
four rings of gold, and put the rings in the four corners that are on the four
feet thereof. |
|
27 | Over against the border shall the rings be for
places of the staves to bear the table. |
|
28 | And thou shalt make the
staves of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold, that the table may be borne
with them. |
| 29
| And thou shalt make the dishes thereof, and spoons
thereof, and covers thereof, and bowls thereof, to cover withal: of pure gold
shalt thou make them. |
| 30 | And thou shalt set upon the table showbread
before me always. |
| 31 | And thou shalt make a candlestick of pure
gold: of beaten work shall the candlestick be made: his shaft, and his
branches, his bowls, his knops, and his flowers, shall be of the same.
|
| 32 | And six branches shall come out of the sides of it; three branches of
the candlestick out of the one side, and three branches of the candlestick out
of the other side: |
| 33 | Three bowls made like unto almonds, with a
knop and a flower in one branch; and three bowls made like almonds in the other
branch, with a knop and a flower: so in the six branches that come out of the
candlestick. |
|
34 | And in the candlesticks shall be four bowls made
like unto almonds, with their knops and their flowers. |
| 35 | And there
shall be a knop under two branches of the same, and a knop under two branches
of the same, and a knop under two branches of the same, according to the six
branches that proceed out of the candlestick. |
| 36 | Their knops
and their branches shall be of the same: all it shall be one beaten work of
pure gold. |
| 37
| And thou shalt make the seven lamps thereof: and they
shall light the lamps thereof, that they may give light over against it.
|
| 38 | And the tongs thereof, and the snuffdishes thereof, shall be of pure
gold. |
| 39 |
Of a talent of pure gold shall he make it, with all these
vessels. |
| 40
| And look that thou make them after their pattern, which
was showed thee in the mount. |
